Investigating the Determinants of Information Sharing Intentions of Learners in Collaborative Learning

IoT is a rapidly emerging technology in education that attracts researchers, students, and administrators. This chapter reviews the opportunities and challenges of the IoT to determine whether there are potential communication and information sharing cultures in higher education institutions (HEIs). Despite the findings revealing stakeholders' demand for a better collaborative learning environment and better information sharing capabilities, IoT has various security and interoperability concerns that present an unattractive prospect for HE stakeholders to embrace IoT. IoT has the potential to meet HEIs system expectations, though stakeholders remain distant toward embracing IoTs. This indicates that stakeholders are not ready to embrace IoTs, thus prompting the need to study why stakeholders are resistant towards the IoT.

The Relationship

This study investigates the relationship between learners' learning styles and the acceptance of open learner models for information sharing in collaborative learning. Based on a survey of 240 undergraduate students in a Malaysian university, the study explores the relationship between learning styles and the acceptance of open learner models for information sharing using a chi-square test. An independent t-test is conducted to investigate the gender difference on the acceptance of open learner models. The result reveals that there is no association between learners' learning styles and the acceptance of open learner models for information sharing. It shows that there is no difference between genders on the acceptance of open learner models. Such findings can assist open learner models designers to apply appropriate instructional design strategies in developing sustainable collaborative learning.

Improve Student Learning

Abstract In recent years, colleges and universities across the country have been called upon to increase the quality of education provided and to improve student retention rates. In response to this challenge, many faculty are exploring alternatives to the traditional “lecture-centered” approach of higher education in an attempt to increase student learning and satisfaction. Collaborative learning is one method of teaching, which has been demonstrated to improve student learning outcomes.
